Bounties finally integrated into Open Source Software Hosting

bountysource.com — Bounty Source allows users to post bounties (bribes to encourage development) directly to an Open Source project. Anyone can attempt to claim the bounties. Bounties from multiple sources are compiled into one large bounty, allowing for many small bounty contributions. Bounty Source is a complete management system w/ task tracking, SVN, etc.
